About the Film
This is a story about the revolution of January 25, 2011 in Egypt, when a group of men attacked women at a protest against Mohamed Morsi. A film director caught in the epicenter of the attack filmed a crowd walking through the streets of Cairo, brutally assaulting protesting women without hijabs.
The climactic moment in the film is the episode where the director, Samaher Alqadi, reveals her pregnancy, when she is forced to think about the upbringing of women, their freedom and fate in the Islamic world.
The discussion after the film will be about Islamic feminism and current events in the Islamic world.
